Biography
Ma'na was born in 382 AD, and he became metropolitan of Fars and knew Persian and Syriac. He translated several books from Syrian into Persian, but he was persecuted during the reign of Shah Yazdegerd I, with Yazdegerd beheading the priest Narsai after Ma'na converted him. Ma'na was also imprisoned before local chiefs released him, and he was prohibited from using the title Catholicus for the rest of his life; he died in 420 AD.
